"We decided to try this restaurant after finding Jumbo Crab was closed. The interior is quite charming. Our group of four ordered several dishes together. While the clam chowder and zombie drink were enjoyable, the rest of the food was disappointing. The seafood boil with garlic butter was overly watery and excessively peppery, to the point where I couldn’t finish it. When we mentioned it to the waiter, he was polite but informed us that this is the way they prepare it. We were still charged for the inedible dish, and our total bill came to around $100. Personally, I don’t feel it’s worth the chance to return, so we won’t be back. We ended up stopping for food elsewhere on our way home."

Fantastic food, amazing staff, and really stylish decor. After placing your order, you won't have to wait long to be served hot meals. I absolutely love this place!

Very enjoyable! The boils are fantastic. Seasoned extremely well. We had the mild and medium Cajun seasoning. Customer service was 5-stars. Highly recommend. Will eat here again soon!
Érica
The only place to go for seafood.Compared to red lobster and jumbo crabThe lobster tails are huge compared to the other places. Yummy all together a little spicy but the amount you get for the price is really good View menu

Amazing experience. The food was phenomenal. There was no pressure to hurry through our meal. Our server was respectful, attentive, and polite. It was one of the best customer service experiences we've seen at a sit-down restaurant.

Stopped in for lunch, it was the first place I found that was open on Easter Sunday. Great atmosphere and very friendly staff, well stocked bar. I ordered the shrimp pasta and it was great. it came with seared shrimp that were very good. Will definitely return.

I had the combo special B.: 1/2 lb. crawfish, 1/2 lb. shrimp, and 1/2 lb. snow crab. SO GOOD!!! Finger-licking good! I'm not sure how people can eat food like that with the plastic gloves they give you. I got the mild garlic butter seasoning. I'll definayely go back when I have some extra funds. It's a little pricey. View menu

I really enjoyed the food at this restaurant! The menu isn't overly extensive, which I find refreshing. The interior is beautifully decorated. I was particularly impressed by how they prepared the seafood and vegetables in sealed bags to accentuate the flavors. They even gave us lobster bibs and gloves to keep things tidy while eating.

I was so disappointed when I tried to ho to my favorite restaurant, JUMBO CRAB to find out it was closed permanently. So I found this place, hoping it was the same. Golden crab is like a generic replacement, just not as much flavor, costs twice as much and service wasn't as good. If I had never been to the better place then I would say this place is good but unfortunately it left me missing the jumbo crab even more. My family is so disappointed.
